SportAholic

This is a very nice course with good practice facilities and the staff was friendly and helpful however the courses pace of play on this day was unbearable!!! Golfers where then jumping holes and causing even more SLOW play.

We left the course only after playing 14 holes that by the way took almost 3 1/2 hours to play… CRAZY!

Not hard but a solid course. A good amount of sand. Greens in good condition. I’ll play this course again.

It a Forest Preserve course

The course gets a lot of play. It rained the evening before and some fairways were still somewhat wet, which helped in a way since a few of the fairways lacked grass, specially hole 2. Pace was good except for the 2 people we played with. Overall a good track for the area and the money.

Pace of Play

The course is extremely nice. However when it takes 3.5 hours to get through 9 holes it ruins the entire experience. Nothing the course can really do but it also isint nice enough to be spending 20-30 min at each hole

Beautiful Golfcourse

I have played at lot of different golf courses. I found this golf course much better than others specially in the Chicago area. Its lay out is very nice and challenging. Fairways and greens are well-maintained. There are lot of trees but fairways are very wide. There are no houses around it. I would like to play here again and again, .

Great Course, great value

Much nicer than your standard forest preserve course, moderately difficult on a few holes but for the most part very wide open. Fairways in really nice condition and greens were also very clean, but perhaps somewhat spongy/slow. Overall a great experience and would definitely play here again.
